How Can Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms Be Managed?
Question: My daughter is exhibiting withdral side effects of this medication;what can I do to help her?
Brief Answer:
Give her Ativan
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Health care magic.
For alcohol withdrawal symptoms you can give her any benzodiazepine sufficient enough to make her sleep.
I often prefer ativan for this purpose as it is safe even when there is liver damage.
The second but most importantly give her thiamine supplement in range of at least 200 to 300 mg per day.
The former is prescription only medication while later is available over the counter.
I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
